CFPB v. TransUnion

TransUnion violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (CFPA) by failing to timely place or remove security freezes on the credit reports of consumers who requested them, and the CFPA by failing to timely place or remove locks on the credit reports of consumers who requested them. TransUnion also violated the CFPA by falsely telling certain consumers that their requests had been successful when they were not. TransUnion failed to exclude certain consumers, including active-duty military and other potential victims of identity theft, from pre-screened solicitation lists in violation of FCRA, according to CFPB.
